The following is the famous recipe used
by Mrs Henry Clay for curing hams,
several hOgsheads of which were annually
sent to Boston, where, under the name of
ashland hams" Lhey commanded the
highest of prices, especially among the
wealthy Wings of that city
For every ten hams of moderate size, she
took three and one-half pounds of fine
salt, one pound of saltpetre and two
pounds of brown sugar, and after mixing
these thoroughly together, rubbed the
hams Herewith on either side. They were
then packed in tight box and placed in a
cool clubhouse for about three weeks, when
the hams were taken out and put in
picking tub or hogshead and covered with
brine strong enough to swim an egg.
After remaining in the pickle for about
three weeks they were taken out, thor
oughly rubbed with fresh salt and hung
up in well ventilated house for a few
days to dry. Next they were transferred
to the smoke house. where they were hung
up and smoked with green hickory or
walnut wood until they acquired the color
Of bright mahogany This accomplished,
each ham was scWed up in canvas, the
coverings whitcWashed, and hung mp to
dry, after winch they were whtcwashed
again and packed away in hoGsheads with

In his new report on the work of the

mates that there are 100, 600 square miles

among the richest agricultural lands in
this country, His department is now study
ing the swamp lands and marshes Of the
Atlantic coast to ascertain the practica-
bility of retaining them. In view Of the
prospect that all the agricultural land now
available in the United states will he occu-

cost but little to build them; ard there are
few barns or stables in the country which

this. The first time you have few min
utes to spare investigate the matter, and
see if you cannot arrange your stables so
that you can have nice rOOmy box stall
for each horse and have everything more
convenient than before. If you can do
this you will be able to do away with
halters entirely, you will need have no
fears of your horses hurting each other
and your horses will be able to do more
work, on account of the better rest they
obtain by being free to turn round and lie
down as they choose. Try it,

Chairman Hatch, of the house commit
tee on agriculture, received from Com
missioner Colman reply to the resolu-
ton offered a few days before by Mr..
SwinOurne Of New York, in which the COM
missioner sets forth COMPREHENSIVE the
difficulties met in the attempt to cXtirpate
or control the pleuro-pneumonia scourge
in the present state of the law and with
the machinery at hand, and re-enforces his
recommendations previously made for
more heroic methods. The commissioner
argues that the quarantine of infected
cattle, even if it could be efficiently done,
does not prevent the spread of the con-
tagiOn, except in isolated cases, and that
the losses from restrictions in trade
are greater than those caused by the dis
ease itself He has therefore recommended,
and does now recommend as the only
measure which will eXtirpate the plague
and prevent both the direct and indirect
losses, that wherever an infected herd is
discovered all exposed animals be slaugh-
tered, the premises thoroughly disinfected,
and the owner compensated Tor the loss to
which he is subjected for the protection of
the public. He urges upon the committee
the necessity of legislation giving to the
department power to carry out the
measures required for eXtirpating plcuro-
pneumonia untrammeled by state laws or
state authorities, if it is expected to
promptly suppress this disease At present
he can only cooperate with the state
authorities in accordance with state legis-
lation in the matter. In some states there
are no laws on the subject, and in all the
rest they are wholly inadequate for the
prompt extirpation Of the plague. There
is little doubt, however, that strong con-
stitutional objections will be raised in con-
gress to such legislation as the commits

For fully 100 years the drainage of the
Jersey meadows, embracing some $1,000

men. OF late years, Professor Cook, the
state geologist, has had plans prepared for
the carrying ont of this scheme, and as the
state has sanctioned the work, it is be
lieved measures will he taken early in the
spring to drain these meadow lands. This
work is urged as much for sanitary pur
poses as for the agricultural value Of the

Fence Posts Upside Down,

There are many farmers who believe
that fence posts set upside down will last
longer than will those set the same way
as the timber grows. This idea probably
originated from the theory that moisture
would not have the same effect upon the
tissue of the wood when it was inverted
as would be the case when fixed in its
natural position. There may or may not
be something in this, but with ordinary
oak fence posts it would be quite counter
balanced by the inconvenience of having
the smaller and generally more sappy
part Of the post fixed in the soil An ag-
ricultural writer who has had large exper-
fence with oak posts prefers having these
sawed and fixed in the same position as
the trees grew, especially when the logs
from which they are cut taper consider
ably which they are liable to do.
